Thanks for that very grounded perspective on the subject. As a voter and believer in Steemit, I would prefer that this not happen but I agree that the world is not what we want, it just is as it is.

I foresee a Steemit future that accounts for this type of behavior on the platform, and in a way it's better that we consider how to tackle these issues now, in beta, before we open the gates for the horde.

You can take comfort in the fact that your writing is of a quality that garners attention, albeit negative in this case. Heres my vote for a great post :)
